Why I Became a Dog Trainer
I am excited about increasing the welfare of the animals we call family by helping parents create strong and positive relationships through training with their dogs. One area I am passionate about is rescue and working through the unique challenges that these dogs have, especially with behavior modification to aid in separation anxiety, fear-based behavior and aggression.Background Before Becoming a Dog Trainer
Before becoming a dog trainer, I spent 23 years working as a Marine Mammal trainer with dolphins and sea lions, including at the National Aquarium in Baltimore. After that, I spent four years working as a zookeeper, training species such as polar bears, tigers, lynx, coyote and parrots.My Dog
I currently have a mixed breed dog named Raven Noodle, who I adopted from PAWS. Although unplanned, we foster failed and she became a part of the family!Testimonials
Allison was great with Raider + us! We learned a lot and have seen him grow so much! he is on the younger side for training, but it helped us make him a smart city dog and she also took extra time with any concerns we had. I have reccoed to a few friends because of our experience. I think we will let him get a little older before we consider more training, but if we do the intermediate class or a private lesson we will use Tucker Pup's in the future!!

Allison was wonderful and so professional. She reassured me that Maple was still so young and still learning.

The puppy social was a great experience. I was impressed with our trainer, Allison. I was nervous going into the training with my 4 month old dachshund. Allison was reassuring and patient. We learned so much from the social and I look forward to other training opportunities with Tucker Pup's.
